Melde einen neuen Hund bei deiner Wohngemeinde an; die Gemeinde erfasst dich und den Hund in AMICUS. Gemeinden und Kantonspolizei haben Zugriff auf die Datenbank und prüfen, ob die Hunde auf ihrem Gebiet gekennzeichnet und registriert sind; fehlende Registrierungen oder offene Mutationen melden sie der Kantonstierärztin oder dem Kantonstierarzt. Den Hundeausweis musst du auf Verlangen vorweisen.» (source: https://rechtsbuch.ur.ch/app/de/texts_of_law/60.2111, as of July 2026).
